Engine stalled / shut off

My 2023 Rebel has done this twice in the last month. The first time, I was pulling up to a yield sign at an intersection. Yesterday in happened again, doing about 5mph. The first time it started right up, but yesterday...... I was halfway through a gated entrance at a business, so I was completely blocking the entry. Took almost 5 minutes before it would restart, and only did when I started mashing the accelerator, much like and old carb'd vehicle. Threw a P032F - combustion engine producing insufficient torque, and a P0300 Multiple cylinder misfire. Dealer can't get it in for another 9 days.
 
Stall situation happened on my 2019 Laramie with e torque. Truck was warmed up, had just dropped off materials at a job site. I was taking a right turn from an intersection at about 10 to 15 mph and pressed the gas to find no power, dash lit up, said shift to park. Tried to restart it several times it just cranked with no start. Called triple a and while I waited, pulled the negative battery cable, and reconnected after about 5 minutes. It would crank and briefly run then die. Towed it to the dealer who called 2 hours later saying it was starting and running fine, am I sure I want them to run the 200 diagnosis. From reading through this thread it seems to be an intermittent problem dealers can't figure out.
 
My 2019 stalled again, 33,000 miles on the truck. Happened while taking a left turn out of a parking lot at low speeds. I was able to coast to the side of the road, put it in park, waited about 1 minute and it restarted and ran like nothing happened. If anyone out there has had luck getting this fixed on a 2019 5.7 etorque would love to know the solution. Not gonna bother taking it to the dealer but did report both incidents to the NHTSA website.
 
We've got several different threads covering two distinct issues. It would probably be best to just have two threads, one for the first issue of the truck shutting down at higher speeds and the dash console lighting up like a Christmas tree. That can be caused by the above referenced (in the video) star connectors.

The second issue is a slow speed stall when turning or coming to a stop, followed by the shift to park and then drive console warning. I have personally experienced this one in a rented Jeep Wrangler with the plug-in hybrid motor. Although this vehicle had a completely different motor from our trucks, it did have the same 8 speed transmission. There has been some limited success addressing this issue by cleaning and/or replacing the throttle body. Personally, I suspect that this is a software problem associated with the Transmission Control Module.

This second issue has no known fix. The dealers can't fix it, FCA can't fix it, and the backyard mechanics can't fix it. If it were my truck, I would try replacing the TCM, Transmission Control Module.
 
Been going through the RPMs dropping as I go make a turn, and like clockwork three times the last 90 days it has died turning into my kids day care.

Going to the dealership Monday. What is the scripting to get them to flash the PCM, take the appropriate action, etc?

Feel free to send our team a private message for an extra layer of support alongside the dealer.

Following up, got the truck back today. The dealership applied two software updates, one for the hybrid control processor and one for the PCM. It is running smoother now. I tried to get it to stall going up the driveway and all is well. Keeping fingers crossed this is the fix.
And here I am after 2+ years, I had the same low speed stall + throwing on the e-brake & parking itself. This time it was in very heavy traffic, slowly crawling up a freeway entrance ramp in afternoon rush hour. Again, no CEL, no codes, so the next morning I got rid of the truck. Completely unacceptable.

Between the stalling that couldn't be fixed, a slow coolant loss that couldn't be found, and a rebuilt transmission + another software update at 42k (that made it run weird), I couldn't deal with it anymore. You know, I had some crappy '80s American cars as a student and those drivetrains went 75k before ****ting the bed. Theoretically a Pentastar + ZF8 should last forever, right? Oh well-- not my problem anymore.

Yep me too. Shes listed for sale. Has zero issues but still. Also looking to trade for a 2024 Blazer RS. Hoping to get 40K.
That shut down thing only happened to me once. I turned off hill assist right after and im not certain whether that was a fix or not. But 14 months later it hasnt happened again.
